1. A vacuum heat insulator comprising:
a core;
a gas-barrier enveloping member covering the core and having a depressurized inside; and
a radiation heat transfer suppressor provided on at least one surface among external surfaces of the enveloping member,
wherein the radiation heat transfer suppressor has a first inorganic material film, and a second inorganic material film having a reflectance different from that of the first inorganic material film, and the first inorganic material film and the second inorganic material film are alternately laminated with each other.
